Frequently Asked Questions

The 'Thin U' profile is thinner and more comfortable than the LTD's standard neck, offering a faster feel for lead playing.
It's a coil-split function, providing single-coil tones from the humbuckers, though the effect is more subtle than a true single-coil.
The 1000 offers finer tuning and improved stability compared to entry-level systems, making it easier to return to pitch after using vibrato.
